The war in the West begins – a German Panzer MK I in Norway in 1940. Hitler pre-empted the Allied intervention in Norway by seizing the country’s main ports and airfields before the arrival of the British and French. The Allies clung on until early June but ultimately Norway was lost to Nazi occupation.

Denmark was attacked at the same time as Norway and the outnumbered Danish Army offered virtually no resistance. These young Danish soldiers were part of a force that only numbered 6,600 in 1939. The helmets hung from their haversacks are probably the M1923 model.
